I was a fundamentalist Christian until I was 18, when both my political and my scientific beliefs just made it harder and harder to believe in my religion. Of course, I'm probably the poster child for some of the paranoid Flat Earthers who believe that science is all a conspiracy to make us all atheists.
And I don't believe that the Earth is round.
Because belief is based on faith, but *facts* tell us that the Earth is round. Hell, I am an Army Brattleboro and I've been up in airplanes and *seen* the curve of the Earth for myself.
I have noticed from watching a lot of Flat Earth videos on Youtube that a lot of Flat Earthers - not all, but a lot - seem to be fundamentalist Biblical ultra-literalists nd Young Earth Creationists who base their belief in a Flat Earth on their ultra-literal interpretation of the Bible.FEEL actually seems to be the end point of a journey that starts with Intelligent Design, then proceeds to Young Earth Creationism, then proceeds to deny the Copernican Principle and embrace Geocentrism, then finally ends up in a belief that the Earth itself is flat. It's acrually pretty much an exact reverse of the progression of modern Western scientific thought - running down the path backwards and ending up exactly where science started, all those centuries and millennia ago.
Which is why it's such a great irony that so many Flat Earth science denialists use the internet, the very product of all of those centuries of scientific thought and progress, to deny the very thing that gave them the platform that they are using for that denial.
